Note that I have submitted an invited talk proposal for this
conference, and while I haven't heard the official word yet, I have
gotten some initial feedback that they are positively inclined
towards accepting.
Under normal circumstances, I would be fine with also doing a
tutorial on a related package (such as Mailman), but I'm also in the
process of writing a book, I think I'm about to accept a propsal from
Rob Kolstad to start writing a column for _;login:_ magazine (the
official publication of the USENIX Association), and my wife and I
are preparing to move back to the US this year. Given the short
fuse, I don't think I could do it this time.
Now, if someone else has already developed Mailman tutorial
material, I'd be happy to be the one to present that.
I got contacted back in December about doing an invited talk
proposal for this conference. While I did give them a number of
other names of people that I thought might be interested/willing/able
to give an invited talk at this conference, I didn't think about
anyone related to Mailman.
For that, I am deeply sorry. I should have thought of you folks
and given you much more warning.
